    Default Add one more to the fleet!!

    Last Wednesday was a pretty big day - received the airworthiness certificate.

    Two days ago (Monday) was the first flight - all went well. Flew hands off and positive stability was exhibited in all axis.

    So, add one more to the fleet.

    Thanks to all for your support and encouragement over the last two years.

    Congratulations. It's a very big accomplishment. The plane looks lovely sitting on that mowed grass.

    Dang Darrel, I didn't know you were that far along! I guess I should have figured when you mentioned your first engine start. Congrats! It looks great, as i knew it would.

    Congrats and a virtual high five! It looks like you built it in a little over 2 years. Enjoy your Phase one flight time.
